We're deep into spring break territory, but the data shows clear winners and losers. Here's what the data says about crowds at Disneyland, California Adventure, and Universal Studios Hollywood for April 9–15, 2026.
The short version: Disneyland is your best bet this week (avg WTI 17.0), while Universal Studios Hollywood runs the busiest. But the day you go matters almost as much as which park.
The Big Picture: Where Should You Go?
Here's how the three parks stack up this week:
| Park | WTI Range This Week | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Disneyland | 17–17 | Moderate — plan your must-dos |
| Disney California Adventure | 19–20 | Moderate — plan your must-dos |
| Universal Studios Hollywood | 23–25 | Consistently busy |
The Big Picture
Overall, it's a busy week across the board. Universal Studios Hollywood runs busiest (WTI 23–25), while Disneyland is your best bet (WTI 17–17). The spread isn't dramatic, but your day choice still matters.
Park-by-Park Breakdown
Universal Studios Hollywood (WTI 23–25): Come with a strategy — Lightning Lane or rope drop will pay off. Crowds are consistent all week, so your day choice doesn't matter much here.
Disney California Adventure (WTI 19–20): Plan your headliners and you'll be fine. Crowds are consistent all week, so your day choice doesn't matter much here.
Disneyland (WTI 17–17): Plan your headliners and you'll be fine. Crowds are consistent all week, so your day choice doesn't matter much here.
Best Day at Each Park
If you can pick your day, here are the lowest-WTI days at each park:
| Park | Best Day | WTI |
|---|---|---|
| Disneyland | Wednesday, April 15 | 16.7 |
| Disney California Adventure | Tuesday, April 14 | 19.2 |
| Universal Studios Hollywood | Wednesday, April 15 | 22.7 |
Wednesday, April 15 shapes up as the best overall day across parks (average WTI 19.5). If you're picking one day this week, that's your answer.
